The great test of it all is the fine spirit demonstrated on the Campus, for if we cannot have spirit, buildings and appropriations do not accomplish their pur pose."

Entries and crowds were more numerous than ever before in the his tory of this event. The net proceeds of the affair are to be turned over to the College band for the purchase of new uniforms. There were over one hundred entries in the exhibition, some of which were sent from Detroit and Grand Rapids. The sur prise performance of the twyo-day program was that given by Sergt. Workman, a non commissioned officer on duty with the R. O. T. C, when he carried off the honors in the open jump sweepstakes class, one of the most keenly contested classes of the meet. Workman rode an army horse in its first trial in such a competition and it outdid the best blooded stock. A long list of prizes was contributed by Lansing and East Lansing merchants audi to these were added entry fees in many classes. The show was continued under the general management of Capt. W. C. the College Chase, cavalry commander of units, acting as secretary-treasurer of the committee which included several promL nent Lansing people as well as representa tives of the college.

It is needless to say that if that sum of money were available the for equipment of all sorts the task of committee would be greatly simplified.

Record m VIEWS AND COMMENT m is necessary this is number This is the final edition of T HE RECORD until the Commencement number is issued in July. This because but thirty-five numbers are published annually and thirty-three, the new volume begins with the September number. Readers of T HE RECORD should be conver sant with several facts in connection with this magazine. It is the lowest priced alumni weekly in the United States, it is as well one of the oldest magazines of its type. It is the only weekly whose staff is centered in one person. T he July num ber will carry a complete report for the year which will show among other things that the subscriptions to T HE RECORD do not pay more than the publishing costs, funds for illustrations are limited to the barest necessities. There are two solu tions to the problem of making T nE RECORD self-supporting and independent financial ly, the subscription rate should be increased or the number of issues reduced. financial Financial matters have been brought to the attention of the members of the Asso ciation several times in the past three years, as yet there has been no action. If T HE RECORD is to be a first class magazine more funds must be made available or the publi cation schedule changed to a monthly basis. There can be some relief through advertis ing revenue but on such an extended num ber of issues this too is insignificant. T he members of the Association control the business of T HE RI-XORD and the decision them. for such a change must come from Another College year is about to close, another class will join the ranks of the alumni. Among its members it has future leaders in alumni activities and in the af fairs of the state and nation. A noted statistician has compiled figures which in dicate that the college graduate has 1,600 times the chance to make good accorded the uneducated person. At any rate the new class is starting upon its career, in dividually and collectively with an advan tage not given its predecessors, it will leave the Campus with the Union Memorial building just starting upon its life of ser vice, it leaves the College at a time when its progress seems to be assured, its policies fixed as they have not been in recent years. It can and will carve its name deeply in the monuments of time for such is the fate of all who have gone before it and with the path smoothed by the pioneers its re sults should be more certain.
